Yes, I wish media reporting would standardize on using proportional maps, like stemlounge.com/muddy-americ..., vs the binary (polarizing) county results. It’s a nuanced world.
I like this, and my favorite is probably the Greg Lake song. I realized the playlist I made somewhat recently, songsha.re/open/ebb46c4..., was for defocusing nostalgia for a sort of evergreen listening set.

The Thanos snap as a universal solution always seemed kind of dumb for him, implausible writing even, and yet here it is in real life from the US gov.
this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

I haven’t said that in ages, but somehow feeling like copy pasting it at least a half dozen times tonight. It’s like the universe telling me I’d better not be one of those people. Or to stay away from cats.
